Model Airplanes

There’s no really delicate way to say this, so I’m just going to do it: The vast majority of people have no idea what they’re talking about when they talk about drone law.

I’ve noticed this in comment threads on Facebook, on Twitter, on comment threads on Reddit, in bar conversations, etc. If you’ve engaged in one of these misinformed debates, though, I forgive you: It’s not your fault. Surely there are more complex areas of law than Federal Aviation Administration drone regulations (hello, copyright law), but few are so intentionally misleading, arbitrarily enforced, or regularly misreported by the press.

If you’re looking for a simple answer to the question posed in the headline, I’m sorry, I can’t give you one. But what I can give you is an exhaustive guide to drone law in the United States.

In order to have any idea what’s legal to do with a drone and what’s not legal to do with a drone, it’s necessary to have paid close attention to the FAA’s actions over the last three years or so. Some conversations with actual lawyers help, as well.

After publishing three separate stories about FAA enforcement of drone regulations last week and watching the online conversation about them, it occurred to me that it might be useful to get deep into the weeds on this issue and unpack what the current legal situation actually is.

I’ve put together this guide after spending the last four years reporting on US

The 1919 Sturtevant, that was honored on Sonoma Square, is seen over the weekend at the Historic Motorsports Festival at Sonoma Raceway.

“Get long and then get loud.”

That old Wall Street saying refers to talking up one’s own holdings. The practice is common, if a little crass. I try to refrain from touting my own holdings too much. Still, readers often ask, “Well, what do you hold?”

So, I devote one column per year to the stocks in my model portfolio. Many of my clients own the model exactly. Others own a modified version, while still others have portfolios that are completely customized.

Here then are my 25 favorite stocks. Five of them have headquarters outside the United States because I think the U.S. market is fairly fully priced.

Transportation

For the third straight year, I am fond of transportation stocks. I figure that these are helped by fuel prices that are much lower than they were two years ago, by an improving economy, and (in the case of

Carlo Borromeo removed all lay monuments from the Duomo, tombs of Giovanni, Barnabo and Filippo Maria Visconti, Francesco I and his wife Bianca, Galeazzo Maria and Lodovico Sforza. I can only imagine what it must have smelled like worshipping in churches with so many dead and decaying entombed within.

As the exterior remained largely unfinished, the interior decoration continued during 1575-1585 – the presbytery, new altars and a baptistery. Wooden choir stalls were built by 1614. Borromeo consecrated the entire building in 1577 as a new church, distinct from Santa Maria Maggiore and Santa Tecla.

During the 17th century, most efforts were dedicated to the façade of the church. The Madonnina’s spire was added in 1762, erected to a height of 108.5 meters. Milan has a very damp and foggy climate which often obscures the Madonnina statue at the top of the spire.  The Milanese will tell you that it is a fine weather day when the Madonnina is visible from far away and not covered by mist.

The cathedral had about 81 architects and engineers who contributed their work to its construction over the centuries. But the façade was still a long way from completion. Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the façade finished on May 20, 1805 because he was about to be crowned King of Italy. Pellicani finished the façade in seven years even though Napoleon never delivered on his promise that the French Treasury would reimburse the Fabbrica del Duomo for the expenses. To thank Napoleon, his statue was
